Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) ISB 24 Valve

[JSawtelle]

A good friend has a 1999 Freightliner FL60 with virtually the same motor as my 1 ton.

Where can we go to get power adders?

This was a fleet vehicle so it has got to be governed bacxk for the masses when it was rented... ... .

Any help would be appreciated.

Eyeball the connectors (and take pictures of them... ) on the VP, MAP sensor, etc. and send pics to some vendors that stare at this stuff all day long... I'm sure it's the same process as upgrading a Cummins/Dodge application... but you'll have to do a little extra legwork above and beyond ordering stuff for a pickup truck.



A lot of the medium duty engines are governed at a lower RPM, but at least you'll get there quicker with a box on it.



Beers,

Thanks, Matt

Anyone else?

Injectors... I'm not sure on the electronics when dealing with a non-Dodge ISB application...

Talked breifly with a "Cummins Authorized Factory Dealer" today. He had said that the Connections, OBD II and physical computer are the same but the software was a lil different than that of a Dodge. There goes the thought of trying out a Smarty I guess... ... ...

What about a wire-tap only fueling box like a TST? It should work on any VP-44 as long as the input signal is good.

I have a 2001 Freightliner 18wheeler with a Cummins N-14 in it. Before I took delivery from the dealer I had him take it to Cummins to turn the power up to an even 500hp. All they did is put a computer on it and push a few buttons. It had been reduced to 435 for the same reason you state. It was a fleet vehicle. Try taking it to Cummins first and turning it up with the computer. Most of the time these vehicles are offered to the original customers in a variety of hps and usually they choose a lower setting. Chances are you can increase hp, road speed, and engine rpm just with the comp. If you can't then it probably means it's been done already. Only after trying this should you try the aftermarket stuff. Sometimes you'd be surprised at the results. I was.
